Who Should Attend
This is a highly practical and workshop-oriented course for those in the pharmaceutical or medical device industry who conduct Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) investigations, especially those in the following areas:- Regulatory Affairs
- Quality Assurance
- Manufacturing
- Product/Process Development
- R&D
- Maintenance
Description
Most organizations have procedures for implementing corrective and preventive actions, but many do not have an effective methodology to actually investigate to find the root cause. As a result the investigation is often careless, unsuccessful, and costly. Root Cause Investigation for CAPA is a proven methodology to investigate and identify the root cause when there has been a shift in the performance of a product, machine, equipment, work process, or system. The methodology identifies the change (or changes) that has occurred so that the change can be eliminated and the performance can return to its previous level. It is ideal for investigating an increase in:- Product or service defect levels
- Customer complaints
- Negative patient reactions with the product
- Manufacturing scrap or rework
- Equipment or process aberrations
- Any performance change where a CAPA investigation is required
This workshop, intensive course is designed to develop the skills necessary so that you can conduct an effective investigation immediately upon returning to your job.
